Bow maker top tip


If you dont have a bow maker you can use a crib board & matchsticks.


A.
Take a length of ribbon. Starting at the back, wrap the ribbon around both pegs,


wrong side of the ribbon facing you, ending with both ends in front
B.
Place the left ribbon to the right of your bowmaker
C.
With the right ribbon, go around the left ribbon end, over towards the front then back under ribbon A
D.
Bring the right ribbon end over the top of the back ribbon, right side of the ribbon facing up


You are finished with essentially the first square knot


Next is another square knot to complete the bow
E.
Create a loop by bringing the left ribbon back towards the left side of the bowmaker
F.
Bring the right ribbon over and through the loop just made from the left ribbon, ending to the right


Pull both ends tight.


Remove the bow from the pegs and adjust if needed, tighten both ends carefully.
